There are many similarities in different genres and Spotify is trying to understand those little things that are making a genre more individual than others. By doing so, they can improve a listener’s experience on the platform, and not only that but an artist also gets the opportunity to try out something very new for their career. This way artists also get the freedom to experiment more with their work. Before this, everyone had to stay within a boundary, which can get a little monotonous over the period.

Many people have claimed this sounds like pop music, but many have said it not. Some said it is kind of sad and some of them said it is like upbeat music. There are many arguments on this part and people are not recognizing it that way because they haven’t experienced it before in their life.
Otacore music genre:
It is one of the most surprising music genres. Otacore is a music genre that people had no idea of and no one is being able to understand it even with its name. there is no direct association between the name and the kind of music.

These are two absolutely new genres that have been introduced to listeners recently. It is quite difficult to understand all these genres. Sometimes, it becomes quite difficult to recognize some small details that hold a huge authority. Here are some ways that can be helpful to differentiate the genres-
Check the tempo:

In hip-hop, the BPM is 85-115, whereas in pop music it is 100-130, and in R&B it is 60-80. In every scenario of music, the BPM is different from each other. And it is one of the important things that help to make one genre different from the other. Apart from that, in many genres, the tempo ranges are quite similar but the listeners have to understand them by evaluating the other aspects of the music.
Check the drum beat:
Another significant part of music is the drum beat of it. Where the tempo range is the same in many genres, there drum beat can be helpful to understand the type of genre. In hip-hop music, usually, the kick is on the 1st, 9th, and 11th. The snare line hits on the 5th and 13th beat and the hat is used in the 8th. So, these are the basic things that help to make each genre different from each other.
